Everlast Videos from Weld.com and Mr TIG

He sounds like he's teaching a kindergarden class. I like Jody Collier's videos much more.

Eric is the mechanic and it was mostly done for his YouTube channel EricTheCarGuy. MOST of Eric's audiences never TIGed before

He still sounds like he's teaching a kindergarden class.

If I ever need to teach a five year old, or maybe an 85 year old, I know where to send them. I couldn't watch more than half way this time. I guess some people might need that level of instruction, but then again, some people just shouldn't weld.

Granted, the first one was pretty hard to watch. As Zoama585 noted, that turning the knob thing was a bit much .... LOL.

I can see car newbies watching this one, though.

Jody's videos are far better and pretty easy to watch and even newbies can appreciate what he's trying to get across.

The voice volume was a bit hit and miss - like it was in the first video too.

Virtually all the TIG Time videos are like that. You really have to crank them up, then be ready to turn them down before the loud music.

I don't know about that. at least car guys have turned some wrenches and should be a little shop savvy. This seems to be aimed more for the garden club.

My fiancé picked up basic TIG welding faster than that with absolutely no experience of anything remotely related.

I just watched Parts 1 and 2. Yes, they are very basic, very beginner based, but they still help our hobby/craft. A different approach than Jody (I do prefer Jody's approach-straight forward and not like he's teaching a high school class) has but as said a different demographic most likely. I have a feeling that Mr. TIGs videos like this will sell a lot of 185 machines just the same as Jody's videos of the 250 EX has sold a lot of those machines. I'm in the market for an Everlast TIG (waiting on the 210 EXT before deciding on the model) but after seeing these videos along with Jody's it makes me wonder if I need all "those knobs" or just a basic machine such as this although I usually overbuy so I'm good for any future skill sets.

Thanks for posting them. When will Part 3 come out?

I completely agree about the car guy comment. A car guy would have been offended by the first video. At least the second video talks about puddle control as opposed to jumping right in and adding filler. I'm still disturbed about his HF start comments. Almost like he is mixing lift starts with HF starts. Hopefully he can do more with his 20 minutes in the last one.

Your fiancee sounds like a great person. Hang on to her tight!
